wykikitoon 24094 Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 We now have 3 players on 10 or more goals. Joe has 7 (in all comps) too, his best haul for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two seasons Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Villa, Arsenal, Man City, West Ham etc have all spent very similar (likely all more tbh) than us - that’s the fact, just because some of them were able to get more money for players they wanted rid of changes fuck all. Manchester United spent £90m on Anthony, £65m on Casemiro, and £75m on Martinez, we spent £65m on Isak, £35m on Bruno, and £35m on Botman. It’s how you spend it tbh. They also all started from a point of spending fucking fortunes for donkeys years while our squad was horrendously underfunded. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston 41 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 How is the club being promoted in Saudi Arabia? Are the games being shown live on TV etc, has the Newcastle fan base grown over there, shirt sales etc etc. If theres any posters on here who are based in the middle east that could give us some insight that would be great.

Gemmill 53351 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Looking at the CL run in... I reckon 66 points will probably be enough, so only 7 more needed. For it not to be enough, one of these things needs to happen: Spurs: 14 points from 6. Villa: 16 points from 6. Liverpool: 17 points from 7. Brighton: 18 points from 9. Of those, Brighton are probably the most likely but they've got really tough fixtures. Which is another point - all of the above will be cannibalising points from one another. You've got: Aston Villa v Brighton Villa v Spurs Liverpool v Villa Liverpool v Spurs So those are all the games where they'll be getting in one another's way for the CL points. Then you've just got the hard fixtures that these teams have got: Newcastle v Brighton Brighton v Man United Arsenal v Brighton Brighton v Man City Spurs v Man United Man United v Villa And look how many times Man United turn up in that list - if we're worrying about one of the above teams, then there's a good chance it'll be at the expense of Man United's top 4 hopes rather than ours. So aye, 7 points to go. This might be done with games to spare. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 53351 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 And all of the above is with 66 points as the bar set for these teams to get over. Which is pretty low. If we went even 2 points better than that, these teams start to need to come up with Hollywood heroics to get past us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some involvement at LFC but I can’t find an independent source to get to the truth tbh. There’s no doubt that they did good business back in the day, they signed Rush for 20k got 3mill for him which went a long way to paying for Aldridge, Barnes, Beardsley and Houghton the following season. They did the same with Coutinho too, signing Allison & VVD off the back of his sale…but as someone said (might have been Dave) a while back they’ve had an elite level of funding for decades. It’s only when Klopp told them what to do with it that they came good (2005 not withstanding) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll get there though. And, on the other hand, they are now in a precarious situation. They'll lose Kane and maybe Son this summer. Get their next managerial appointment wrong, and with that huge stadium mortgage*, they could be in trouble. * Disclaimer, I've no idea how this is paid for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in the CL will basically be a way of saying to the PL that all our Saudi sponsorship deals are above board and them not being able to prove otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
